Transferring visa to new passport.

Im on a 12month ext of stay based on my retirement visa. Is it just the current 12 month extension of stay visa that needs to be transferred, or the Non Immigrant O and all the previous ext of stays?

Many thanks

Chicken or egg

It reads to get a bank account you need a retirement visa, but to get a visa, you need a bank account.

What do you apply for first.

And if you’re out of the country for more than 90 days, is your visa revoked as you can’t check in with immigration?

I will get a Non Immigrant O Visa for my next visit, the question I have ... To open a bank account what is the customary amount required to just open the account for starters. I am not necessarily trying to deposit 800,000 for one year extension. Primary goal is to open a Thai account and slowly bring to 800,000. I will be leaving in 60 days with the Non-O Visa. Again, looking to just get and maintain an active Thai Account for future retirement Visa long term.

Immigration in Chiang Mai agreed to supply CoR (certificate of residency) yet not right away. They will send it by mail within 2-3 weeks time. WTF??. Does that sound like the expected response...? its needed for a Non Immigrant O for retirement visa. Bank will not open account without the CoR, so that makes the 800k deposited for 60 days before getting the one year extention very tight in terms of times. and maybe even impossible, concidering international money transfers take few days.

not sure I 'll make it.

any advice of how to get the CoR sooner?

Need help with a refresher on the process of obtaining a retirement visa in chiang mai.

4 years back I did the below process, I recall that it was relatively easy, basically, my retirement visa and wife and child as dependents

1. Visa on arrival (Visa Exemption) 60 days , back then it was 30 days

2. After 15-30 day

3. Apply for Non-Immigrant O Visa (90day Non-O).

4. 30 days later, apply for Retirement Visa (Extension of Stay)

(I have a Thai Bank account already)

Once my visa is sorted, I start the process for my wife and child (6years old)(non-thai)

They will be a (dependent) from my visa

This is what I have done last time in Chiang Mai

I know what paperwork is required, birth certificate, marriage, passports, residential letter, cash in bank 800k.

(hopefully no changers)

Are there any changes I should be aware of?

Just a thought, is there any advantages for me to first get a 90day Non-O from my home country before arriving.

Thanks

Help! Group I am filling e-visa non immigrant O.

They are asking about the dates of arrival, flight no, accomodation address, how many days I will stay there.

How can I book accomodation for 90 days, before I even close to go?

Also even if I book airbnb, I won't get full address (which is required) until 5 days to arrival.

I didn't book anything yet. I would like to have a visa first (it lasts 10-15 working days to get it). What to do?

Just checking

We married in The Netherlands and want to register our marriage in Thailand too. Than I can base the yearly extention of a Non-immigrant O visa on our marriage. I had our marriage certificate legalized here in The Netherlands by the MFA and the Thai embassy. So far so good.

I found a translator in Bangkok who will do the registration at the MFA in Bangkok. For that I will provide here with the legalized marriage certificate, a legalized copy of my passport by the Dutch embassy, a copy of the Thai identity card of my spouse and his Tabien Baan. The translator will send the registered document to our address in Phitsanulok. Than I will register our marriage at the municipality (Amphur). I was told that I should insist to keep the original marriage certificate for Immigration, the Amphur should keep a copy. I hope this goes well. Anyone who has experience with this?

Having done all this, after two months of stay I can ask Immigration for extension of my visa, based on our marriage. My Thai spouse has a bank account with more than 400,000 baht, so I don't need a bank account of my own. At least that's what Immigration told me in April when we were there. But if necessary I can open a bank account of my own with a Certificate of Residence, to be provided by Immigration. To be sure, I will check again with Immigration after our arrival.

For the extension next year we will not have 400,000 baht any more on my spouses bankaccount, we will use the money for a house (to assure my rights, we will register an Usufruct agreement for as long as I live). But the Dutch embassy can provide an affidavit about my pension, that's enough. Just to be sure, I will also check this with Immigration.

Anyone any comment? Did I miss something? Thank you.
